Welcome to Episode 119 of my podcast interview from the crow's nest. It is Friday the second of October 2020. It's 11:07pm, and I am shattered. So we moved, today we did the move, we actually managed to more or less fit, unbelievable amount of stuff in our car. I love our car no scenic scenic. Excuse me. And in fact, if you want to see what we fit in the car then have a look at my Instagram or Facebook story from today because. Yeah, it's quite impressive. Anyway, we managed to get pretty much everything in the car we managed to get the boat on time. And we arrived upon the mainland and had the 300 kilometre drive south ahead of us, which I did normally we actually share someone and I we have a thing where we want to make sure that we share the driving so it doesn't end up like a lot of couples where one. You know one person tends to drive by for example in my mom and dad. It's always my dad who's driving especially on the motorways, and we wanted it to be so that you know it was more equal, not from the point of view of. So, the driver feels like awesome thank goodness somebody else is helping me but actually the opposite, for example, my mom isn't so keen on driving on motorways now because she's not used to it. Because my dad's been doing it for the last however many years. So we want to make sure that there's more. Empowerment there. But that said, Today sim was up early blazes o'clock with the annatto. And I felt okay and I said you know I don't mind driving late and I feel bad at any point. And also I wanted to see how I fared on 300 kilometres which I've not done before in one go. So when I say one guy actually we had a break in about 10 minutes at a service station after about 45 minutes, but it was fine. It was good, you know, that was all fine so that was cool. We got Castro victory we got into the house to discover that it was filthy. The guest the windows basically be left open and because it's kind of a countryside house on the outskirts of town, very dusty because it was so dry around here. Literally, he was just caked in dust red Sandy grimy dust. Everything the seats the couches the floor the tables, every surface. So, the kids who had been marvellous this morning while we were packing, you know, while they would just watch TV but basically you know. And then on the journey. It was an hour half hour and three quarters on the boat, and then three hours driving, and you know they were brilliant they were so excited to come here and then we got here I was like sorry guys no can't play with you because we've got to tidy and we've got to clean and then. So, that's what we've been doing and we're not finished. But it's looking ahead of a lot nicer and more habitable than it was previously. So, plans tomorrow. I mean, that's all the chair so we've done today is drive and tidy, playing rather plans tomorrow is to finish cleaning, putting in all our stuff from the car the rest of the stuff and start putting everything away. We also found when we got here that the wardrobe had gone, there were two wardrobes, that we were relying on and one of them is gone. It got sold in absence, which is fine, but obviously we had ideas to put stuff in there so that's the whole bunch of it wasn't just a wardrobe was like a really big kind of wardrobe affected because exactly what it was. With drawers and cupboards and. So, tomorrow we bring in our stuff. And then, then we're on a mission to clear out all this redundant furniture so the place we stay in at the moment. We're now going to live in is my, my wife's aunt hails her flat she died a couple of years ago left it to my father in law. And she liked antique stuff. So, I'm staring at a wardrobe which was handmade probably over 100 years ago at over 100 years ago, looking at an cast iron bed. That's got the most uncomfortable headboard known to man, why you don't make a headboard like that I don't know but I don't know if it's Art Deco I'm not even sure. And then there's all these piec
